  • grant of the application as conditioned disserves the public interest. After the filing of the pleadings at issue here, the Commission issued a report and order in Docket No. 99-67, adopting a new rule section that prescribes out-of-band emission limits for mobile earth stations, such as Globalstar's, with assigned uplink frequencies between 1610 and 1660.5 MHz. Among other things, Section 25.216 requires terminals placed in service after July 21, 2002 to suppress emissions in the 1559-1605 MHz band to e.i.r.p. levels of -70 dBW/MHz or less and requires terminals placed in service before that date to suppress emissions to levels of -70 dBW/MHz or less in frequencies from 1559 to 1587.42 MHz.

We will also impose conditions to ensure that these requirements are met These conditions should address Motorola's concerns regarding out-of-band emissions from the NSR terminals to Motorola's MSS system operating on nearby frequencies.

  • 158-SAT-AMEND-96 Call Sign S2111 ERRATUM Released: June 9, 2003 By the Chief, Satellite Division: We are issuing this erratum to correct a typographical error in the Commission's Memorandum Opinion and Order in this proceeding released on June 4, 2003. The rule provision mentioned in the second sentence in Paragraph 23 should have been identified as Section 25.161(a), rather than Section 25.216(a). The second sentence of Paragraph 23 is therefore revised to read as follows: The Bureau held in that case that waivers of Section 25.161(a) and of a construction-commencement requirement were equitably justified because the licensee had been materially hindered from meeting the requirement by an erroneously-imposed license condition.

  • ``in view of the difficulty of recalling and retrofitting [uncertificated] equipment already in use.'' (The principal difficulty is that such uncertificated devices are not marked with the FCC Identifier.) Yet in the Further NPRM issued last year in this proceeding the Commission proposed to adopt a relevant certification requirement with no grandfather exemption. Specifically, the Commission proposed to amend Section 25.216 to require various kinds of mobile GMPCS transceivers to be certificated to emission limits pertaining to operation after January 1, 2005, including transceivers placed in service prior to adoption of those limits. All of the relevant comments filed in response to the initial NPRM agreed that GMPCS terminals already in use should be exempt from mandatory certification. Further, Orbcomm urged

  • meantime, STA requests will continue to be resolved on their own merits on a case-by-case basis by the Commission's International Bureau. Restrictions on TDMA MSS Operations in the L-Band We note that MSS operators in the L-band must protect both the radionavigation satellite service below 1610 MHz, typified by the GPS system, and RAS within the 1610.6-1613.8 MHz band. Section 25.216 specifies the OOB emission limits necessary to protect the radionavigation satellite service from mobile earth stations (MES) operating in 1610-1626.5 MHz. The current license for Iridium MESs is in the 1621.35-1626.5 MHz portion of the band and the same OOB emission limits will apply to Iridium MESs uplink operations in the 1618.25-1621.35 MHz portion of the L-band. Similarly, section 25.213

  • ATC applications are filed, we will coordinate any ATC authority grant with NTIA, pursuant to the general notification process, to assure adequate protection of the GPS. On our own motion, we amend the RNSS-band emission limits for ATC handsets and base stations in sections 25.252-25.254 to eliminate several minor, unintended discrepancies between those limits and corresponding emission limits in sections 25.216, in keeping with our previously stated intention to limit ATC emissions in the 1559-1610 MHz band to the same extent as emissions from MSS terminals. We also amend section 25.216(i) pertaining to carrier-off-state emissions to delete language that is inconsistent with our intention that the limit should restrict average EIRP density. Because this amendment is merely clarifying, rather than substantive,

In instances where terminals are not operating in compliance with our rules and no domestic entity is authorized to provide service, we will take action consistent with our authority under 47 U.S.C.Section 510. 5. A new section 25.216 is added and reads as follows: Section 26.216 Limits on Out-of-band Emissions from Terminals Operating in the 1610-1660.5 MHz Band for Protection of Aeronautical Satellite Radionavigation (a) Limits on Emissions Below 1605 MHz.
